Now Begins Operation Jay - Scott Lynch is generous and slightly scary. Thank you.
My short story "Spendthrift" will be in the forthcoming anthology Coins of Chaos
Surviving the World on steampunks
Top Ten Likely Consequences of Muslim anti-US Embassy Riots
Occupy movement turns 1 year old, its effect still hard to define - Since Occupy Wall Street sparked a nationwide movement, no broad tangible result has emerged. To stay relevant, must it involve politicians?
O'Reilly's Accidental Support For Planned Parenthood Funding - More of that justly famed conservative intellectual consistency.
Kansas Goes Birther: State Board Considers Removing Obama From Ballot - The unswerving conservative commitment to representative democracy, political fairness and intellectual honesty continues.
Obama by the Numbers - Some serious neepery about the metrics of the current presidency.
Joining the Reality-Based Community - My old Republican worldview was flawed because it was based upon a small and particularly rosy sliver of reality. To preserve that worldview, I had to believe that people had morally earned their “just” desserts, and I had to ignore those whining liberals who tried to point out that the world didn’t actually work that way. I think this shows why Republicans put so much effort into “creat[ing] our own reality,” into fostering distrust of liberals, experts, scientists, and academics, and why they won’t let a campaign “be dictated by fact-checkers” (as a Romney pollster put it). It explains why study after study shows … that avid consumers of Republican-oriented media are more poorly informed than people who use other news sources or don’t bother to follow the news at all. (Via Slacktivist Fred Clark.)
Mitt Romney’s Best-Known Mormon Critic Tells it All. One Last Time.
Erasing the Iraq War from Republican Party History - Amazingly enough, most conservatives seem to have forgotten that their party leadership launched a trillion dollar way of choice on knowingly false pretenses. Or else they blame it on Obama. This is akin to thinking that the Bush administration "kept us safe".
